Cora Ruby was born on May 29, 1924 in Allerton, Iowa to Elmer and Myrtle (Fortune) Acheson. She graduated from Allerton High School, where she loved playing basketball and met the love of her life, Garold C. Kint. She and Garold were united in marriage in 1944. They made their home on the east side of Des Moines, where they raised their three daughters, Judy, Janie and Jolene. She was a homemaker while her daughters were in school and was involved with her church, PTA and attending her daughters activities. She then worked as a manager of the fabric department at Richman Gordman and later as a clerk for the Polk County Treasurer Office, Motor Vehicle Division.

Ruby enjoyed sewing, playing golf, gardening, reading, puzzles, and taking care of her family most of all. In retirement, Ruby and Garold enjoyed traveling with their camper for the winter to Arizona, Texas and Florida and enjoyed spending time with many friends along the way.
